Understanding Echolalia in Autism and How to Support Your Adult Child

Echolalia is one of the most common communication traits in autism. At JoyDew, we don't treat it as a problem, we build on it as a bridge to meaningful expression.

The job training at JoyDew

By Chris The very best job for me is finding patterns. This is the job of pattern recognition. I like to do the fun jobs like cybersecurity. I do computer health checks to make sure the computer is updated. I am great at all the jobs I try, because I want to have a job. I want to be like my family and have a job. It is really hard idea for other people to learn that I am thinking critically. They are dead wrong to think I am not smart. I am going to be very good at my job because I am very motivated, and I want to succeed in my life and become independent. The good news is that I am very smart and very responsible. These are qualities that can help a person be a good employee. It will be the accomplishment of my life and I will be very proud about it. In the future there will be many people with autism that will work in many jobs and show the world that we are smart and capable people. It is all because of the hard work we are doing at %COMPANY% and the training we get there.
